Does annual service keep a gas fireplace burning cleaner?
Yes, and Fletcher's builder-grade units especially. The 1990s subdivisions along the I-26 corridor are full of original gas fireplaces now pushing thirty years, and an aging burner and valve drift toward a rich, sooty flame without upkeep. An annual service cleans the burner and pilot and resets the air-to-gas mix, keeping an older unit burning as clean as a new one.
Thirty-year-old fireplaces
A builder-grade gas fireplace installed in a 1990s Cane Creek or Fanning Bridge subdivision has burned a lot of seasons, and time isn't kind to a neglected one: ports foul, the air shutter shifts, and the pilot assembly collects a summer of dust and spider silk every off-season. None of that is a repair — it's exactly what an annual tune-up exists to reverse, restoring the crisp flame and clearing the sooty film these older units develop when they're skipped year after year.
Commercial demand near the airport
Fletcher's airport-area commercial and office spaces run gas fireplaces and outdoor features harder and longer than a typical home, and a business can't afford a hazed, sooty display or a no-heat morning in front of clients. The same preventive service applies, scaled to the use. Fletcher sits on natural-gas mains in Henderson County, 20 minutes south of our Asheville showroom — an easy fall visit. As a licensed gas contractor we handle the fuel side start to finish. Call (828) 545-0525.
